Remove photos from local Android device after adding them to Dropbox via camera uploads.
I wanted to use my dropbox account to be able to backup my files and remove them after a period of time from my phone, so files say older than a couple of months are only available online. And just k...
>> Can you give me an example of a folder that you’d like to automatically add to Dropbox with camera uploads?
For example on my android, photos are stored somewhere like:
/internal storage/DCIM/Camera, and what today dropbox does is that it copies that over to "Camera Uploads" folder (in dropbox cloud).
It would be nice that the android client would have a setting that allows the user to say, well once it has uploaded it to dropbox (and maybe after say a month or 2) remove it from my local storage, in this case from /internal storage/DCIM/Camera. So those photos live now only online in dropbox, and frees up space on my phone for newer photos, apps, etc.
>> Do you also mean that you’d like the entire folder to be added to your “camera uploads” directory as a subfolder?
I think this might be nice to have, but less important than allow me to free up the space on my phone having the files only on dropbox cloud.
